Our Regulatory Overlords’ 2 Speeds: Asleep & Overdrive | Guests: R. Henneke, T. Smith, B. Peacock

Should the federal government industrialize our oceans by leasing off our whales’ “migratory superhighway” to foreign wind energy companies, displacing American commercial fishermen and women? Jacki interviews Rob Henneke, the Chief Counsel of the Center for the American Future (TPPF) which is suing the Biden Administration for failure to meet health, safety, and environmental requirements in the permitting of the Vineyard Wind farm off of the coast of Massachusetts. (Check out the mini-documentary, “A Heavy Wind: The Fight to Save an American Heritage” at texaspolicy.com). The surveying, underwater detonations / pile driving to place the wind towers, sound pollution, and EMF radiation emitted by the underground cabling repel wildlife and destroy whales’ ability to navigate. Worst of all, the project will interfere with the First Detection Radar System that the Department of Defense uses to protect the homeland from attack; Hence, TPPF is suing the Department of Defense as well. - - - - - Author Thurman Smith joins Jacki to discuss his book, Supreme Damage: Rescuing Representative Government from Judicial Overreach. We examine the famed “Chevron Deference” precedent and how we got into this mess of un-elected bureaucrats micromanaging our every move.- - - - -America’s energy capital, Texas, continues to issue emergency alerts to citizens to cut electricity use by unplugging major home appliances at midday or not turning the AC below 78. Our grandparents’ generation would never have stood for this nonsense. Bill Peacock, Policy Director at The Energy Alliance explains why Texas is actually starting to experience energy poverty, despite having some of the most energy-rich real estate on earth. Few noticed that the state issued a Level 2 Alert last month – the first since the Texas freeze of 2021 – and we explain why these will become more frequent.
